Online Casinos Versus Las Vegas

By Simon M Skinner

When most people think of gambling, they think of going to Vegas. But today you can play online casino games from the comfort of your own home, office, or anywhere your laptop can travel. And the cool thing is, an online casino lets you play with imaginary money instead of cash, so you don't have to risk losing the shirt off your back!

In Vegas, there are no practice runs- you learn to play by betting real money. Once you have gotten familiar with the play money games, you can start playing with real money by depositing into your account.

Just like in Vegas, there are lots of different casino games to choose from when you play online. You can play craps, the slots, blackjack, Texas hold' em, and many other games-all from the comfort of your own chair. You have zero travel expenses and you can play whenever you want-at any time of day. And you can bet real money or just have fun and play with the casino's play money.

At online casinos, you can also take advantage of opportunities to play freerolls. Here you have the opportunity to get real cash payouts or win seats to big money games elsewhere. They start out with quite a few players, but if you're good, you could move up to the top.

At an online casino, players typically make a natural progression from playing with imaginary money to trying out the freerolls and then actually betting real currency. This is a nice advantage over Vegas. With online casino games, you can also sometimes take advantage of opportunities to play and win cash without a financial investment at all. That's another feature you won't find in Vegas.

There are many people that have become good poker players and have now decided to make poker their career and they have simply learned to play using the online casino games and have never traveled except for money tournaments they have won a seat for. Sometimes, these tournaments are held in Vegas, but that is the first time that many poker pros have been there that learned to play at an online casino.

Anyone who has ever wanted to learn to play gambling games like poker can find out everything they need to know at one of the many online casino sites. There you'll find instructions, tutorials, and lots of opportunities to practice without risking any real cash-like you would in Las Vegas.

Of course, going to Vegas is something that every avid poker player should do at least once. The atmosphere is charged and the sound of all the machines is exciting. Playing with actual chips is slightly different than playing on the computer, where the online casino tallies your chip points and you just have to pick a dollar amount to bet, versus knowing what chips to throw into the middle of the table at Vegas. Live play is slightly different than playing online casino games, for that reason.

When it comes to Vegas Vs the online casino, there are many advantages to the online casino games and once you have perfected them, you may find yourself trying your luck in Vegas!
